@d72d5211 if I self hosted using my in house server I would likely run out of bandwidth on my rural broadband link, esp if what I was hosting got popular. I'd have to at least pay for a fixed ip address, not sure if those are still pricey.
So what I do is run syncthing which does peer to peer over my local wifi, syncing key dirs across my devices. It doesn't help w email etc but it gets me off using GDrive when all I want is sync. Doesn't work when I'm out either but not a real problem. 

 @120acc36 sounds really tough. Sorry you have this. 

 @120acc36 if I did this I would be sleeping in the garage until my isolation period was over. 

 @120acc36 maybe he'll have to turn back & blame the weather. 

 @120acc36 ooof! But, hey, now you can break more strings! Just not the ones you've already broken though😮 

 @867529b7 it's a bit different for me. The toilet already turns it to compost. I have 3 bins in the garden for compost, usual setup where I fill one, turn it into the 2nd, and turn 2nd into 3rd. When I get sludge from the toilet I just make a well in the 2nd bin and pour it in, then cover w grass, then tarp & leave it. It's mostly broken down & not smelly, but it seems prudent let it break down some more. It does get hot. 

 @867529b7 last week I hauled a couple of buckets of sludge from our composting toilet and added it to the compost bins in the garden. I give it another 6 months or so to break down further, adding kitchen waste, lawn clippings and weeds. I do this twice a year. The end result is rich black compost.
